Many of the designers use them. The website is hard to manuver but the phone number is there and if you ask for the mail order department they will help you match things up. They have most of the popular colors in organza and if you ask they will match up linings for you. Organza runs $2.95 a yard. Good quality too. They also have super stretch. They don't take pay pal. I went there one time and OMG you should see the beautiful laces and things they have. Most are not even on their website. I was mad because I couldn't afford to buy much. They have several floors. It's a designers dream store. Now I'm giving out secrets that aren't suppost to be told. lol, but I don't care,no telling what I'm going to tell next. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Maryjos is AWESOME. They have AMAZING customer service. Another place we have found is Thompson in Oklahoma City, OK. They are super sweet. They do take paypal from what I remember...I think I used paypal even when I went to the store in person. There is also Golden D'or on Harry Hines BLVD in Dallas, TX. They are super sweet and if you need superstretch in any color they have. Literarlly they have an easy 45 colors. If you get on their mailing list you get emails for 40% off material on certain days. The superstretch ranges from $10.99-18.99 depending on the color. If you need organza to match the superstretch there is also Best Fabrics on Harry Hines. Both of these stores have their own fabric fabrication stores so they can keep their costs down. Between the two there are about 20 stores that sell already dyed lace to match LOL. Crazy but true. We live an hour away and when we go to Dallas my husband says he needs to take survival food. I can literally stay in a 3 block radius for 8 hours and not get bored at all. Good luck.

You really can't dye those dark colors. I can make it out of any fabric, but this mom insists on superstretch. If you know where to get it please let me know. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

How soon do you need this? I can look and if they have it I can get it for you and send it to you. Golden D'or is the best for superstretch but their color blue may not be the exact one. Does that make sense? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Now when we go shopping he just says Okay I guess we need another plastic storage box. Cindy I currently have 4 or 5 of the HUGE storage boxes full of spandex. lol I have 2 full of SuperStretch and about 50 different colors of organza on different rolls. He laughs because we normally take my small VW Beetle to the fabric stores and the rolls are almost longer than the car LOL. If you ever need anything just let me know. I try to post on my facebook wall when we are going to the store...Probably we are going next Tuesday or Thursday...After payday so he doesnt complain LOL [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
